We're not quite sure how it happened, but BrutaliTeas recently got a little shoutout in The New York Times!

A recent article written for Pitch Black North also made mention of other tea brands inspired by music.

​As a small company in a very niche market, we are so excited and grateful that we made it on the list of those mentioned!

Christmas advent Calendar Fundraiser

12/26/2019

0 Comments

 
This holiday season, we decided to switch our fundraising up a bit! We recently did tea advent calendars, where we took $5 from each advent calendar sale to raise donations to grant wishes on One Simple Wish, an organization that helps to grant wishes for children and young adults impacted by foster care, abuse and neglect. 

So, thanks to all of YOU that purchased our advent calendars, we were able to raise $235 to grant wishes on One Simple Wish!  Check out what wishes we were able to grant.

We granted a wish for Justin to go to the San Diego Zoo since he is a HUGE animal lover (especially cats!) and loves to volunteer at his local SPCA. Justin even messaged us back to tell us how excited he was to be able to go to the zoo on Christmas Eve this year!

We also granted a wish for Glenda to spend a day having fun at Dave and Busters, since she was so kind and donated her own time to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity! We also granted a wish for a group home child to go to the movies, and a wish to contribute toward a bday gift for a young person working hard in college to get a higher education for themselves!

Thank you all for your support of our advent calendars! You all helped to brighten someone’s day ❤️❤️#brutaliteas #teaforacause#onesimplewish #givingisgood

In November, we partnered up with Sweet Music Academy to co-host a fundraising event called "Be Kind to All Kinds" (People & Animals).

This event was a fun, family friendly event with a handful of local musicians performing their own acoustic sets. We also used this event as a way to help raise food donations for
Fulfill, and food/supply donations for the Volunteer Auxiliary for Animal Shelters Inc. 

Thanks to your support of our Detoxic Avenger blend, donations at events, and purchases on our auction page, we were able to purchase $100 worth of much needed food and supplies for the Volunteer Auxiliary. Guests in attendance, as well as customers of Sweet Music Academy, were also so kind as to bring numerous food and supply donations for both organizations! The event was a great success, and very heartwarming!

When Between the Buried and me posts about your tea....

6/16/2019

0 Comments

 
So, there's always that fear in the back of our minds (or at least in my anxiety ridden mind) that there's going to be some band out there that totally hates us parodying them with our tea...but so far any band that's found us or a tea parodying them has been so insanely awesome and even flattered by it!

We recently vended at the Trenton Punk Rock Flea Market, and one of our customers informed us they wanted to buy some Between the Blueburied and Me for their cousin... who just happened to be in the band. We offered to gift it to them since it was going to a member of the band, but they were so awesome that they insisted on purchasing it.

Fast forward a couple of months, and we got surprised with this amazing little post on Instagram from Between the Buried and Me's very own drummer, Blake Richardson! We totally love it!

Hands down the BEST part about doing all of this are the reactions that we get from  all of you when you see and try our teas...which is all smiles and laughs! It makes our hearts even happier to see when a band totally digs it, too! Thanks so much for the support Blake. Keep doing what your'e doing and being an inspiration to others! <3

Tea for a cause Donations  Made so far for 2019!

Hi Friends!

Just wanted to post an update on what we've been doing with our Tea for a Cause Donations!

As you may or may not know, last year we trapped a total of 7 cats just outside of our home. With the help of the rescue we volunteer with, we were able to get all of those 7 cats spayed/neutered, and 6 of them homed into loving families (mama cat was returned to her environment and is still cared for).

Just when we thought we did our part on controlling the feral/stray cat issue on our block, in February a new little guy showed up at our house who appeared to be just under a year old. I knew in my heart when I saw him that he had to be saved and that he COULD be saved seeing as he was still young and not completely feral. 

After weeks of earning his trust, I was able to trap our little friend. I spent over a month socializing kitty to help him find his forever home. During this time, someone near and dear to us saw him and fell in love. They knew he was "the one".

Before taking him to his new furever home, he was taken to our local area SPCA for all vaccinations and neuter, as no cat/kitten should be adopted out otherwise. Upon his neuter surgery, the veterinarian found that he had an umbilical hernia that was about the size of a fist. This is a very significant size, and can be very dangerous if not corrected. Without question, we agreed to taking care of the expenses for this surgery. We wanted what was best for kitty, and we didn't want his new family to have to worry about this unexpected medical expense (Roughly $125).

We are happy to say that all went well with surgery, and "Moon" has since gone home with his new family. He is making leaps and bounds getting comfortable with being an indoor kitty, and allowing his humans to love and care for him. 

I cannot say it enough times to PLEASE spay and neuter your animals. It makes a huge difference in controlling the amount of homeless animals out there! No domesticated animal should be left to fend for itself outdoors, and they certainly shouldn't be bringing more innocent lives into the world that can't be cared for either. 

Thank you all so much for continuing to support our Tea for a Cause, so we can help pets such as Moon get the care that they deserve! 

Happy Tails Moon!!

We were also able to make small donations to the following local area rescues to contribute towards urgent medical care needed for animals in shelters that were time-stamped for euthanasia unless pulled by a rescue. 

Non Lethal Options for Animals Inc- $20
NJ Aid for Animals - $10
PURR-Philadelphia Urgent Rescue & Relief - $20
